Prefect Records

One wonders if Isobel Campbell quit after thinking the band would never again hit these sort of heights ?

Coaster, by Massage 10 track album

Bandcamp Fridays are a great way to support DIY record labels - we have the new Massage album available on Pre Order , a limited UK pressing of only 150 copies on powder blue vinyl

The vet gave him 10-24 weeks to live , but remarkably he carried on for another year !
Not only did he get another Christmas in with us , he managed to help curate another vinyl compilation , named 227, before we lost him a month shy of his 18th birthday .

I have nothing bad to say about this album - it’s pretty much perfect in every way.

Really looking forward to this - might even see sunshine for the first time in 2025 !!

The chances of it being reissued will probably increase over time . The chances of it being reissued in the next year or two are probably 1%.

Possibly lower .

I think the band are more interested in recording a new album this year.

Off to Madrid in March with @mtmiseryband.bsky.social @chimeschool.bsky.social and The Cords.

Hopefully we get nice weather 🤞

Didn’t make an End of Year list or a compilation for 2024. It was a generally bad year on a personal level.

Was there anything better than this placed on the Internet last year though ?

We sold a lot locally , friends and family of the band , so every now and then it pops up in the second hand vinyl shop here.

I saw one in there the other month for £20. Went in a week later and it had gone.

Next time I see one in the second hand shop here for £15 I will buy it for you 👍

There are no plans to reissue the first album. I dunno, that may change in the future.
The band haven’t expressed a desire to do it, and it’s just a ridiculously expensive exercise putting vinyl out.
Maybe if one of us wins the lottery it could happen ?

I have a gut feel the record being pressed in Boro was a big reason it got to 1 .

Wise man nevertheless.

All the essentials in one photo 😂

Super chuffed to have 2 albums in Joes Top 20 including his Number 1 courtesy of the Mt. Misery album .

Given the sheer volume of records he listens to we are truly honoured

I only have to not die now between today and the end of June 🤞🤞

I literally willed this to happen 😂

Thanks @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social for reminding us that compilation came out in 2024 - it’s feels like it came out more than a year ago. 😂

A fantastic list - lots of stuff I haven’t heard and will check out.

More love for the Mt. Misery album
too which is massively appreciated.

Wowsers 😯🙁

Means a lot to us when folk say nice things - not saying the band will necessarily turn up and play a gig in your front garden , but once the weather turns nice ….

We are too poor to buy press and radio coverage, so it really does mean a lot when people take the time to write genuinely lovely stuff about records we put out.

Dunno if it’s the most thoughtful
Single review we have ever had, but it’s definitely in the top 2 !

Thanks Fran - nice to see the band getting a few decent Festival slots sorted for next year too.

More of which shortly.

Both the Mt. Misery and EggS albums are now on sale in the US via Jigsaw - not sure how many they have left but it doesn’t say Sold Out 😂

NEW ALBUM OF THE DAY

Today Steve will be listening to….

◼️EGGS
◼️CRAFTED ACHIEVEMENT

Great review of the new EggS album - available from our website/Bandcamp but we are already down to the last 30 or so copies.

So much great DIY music being played on these independent radio shows. Stuff 6 Music has zero interest in .

It will be interesting to see if Trump is true to his word and starts imposing yet more tariffs, and if European countries then reciprocate.
It’s already the most expensive country on the planet to ship records to and from.
Alas I think less chance of American indie bands touring here if he does 🙁

Very excited there is new Horsegirl music. Tempered by the sadness of knowing I will never see them playing it live .
